Counterfeit Medication

As the headlines remind us rogue distributors are able to market a wide range of counterfeit drugs and sell them throughout the world with near impunity.

A report by Florida's grand jury concludes that "an alarming percentage of the drugs flowing through the wholesale market have been illegally acquired” . . . “or illegally imported from overseas."
The magnitude of the problem in Florida helped persuade the Food & Drug Administration to launch a national counterfeit drug initiative. But the FDA can only demand that the problem be addressed. It cannot solve the problem.

In addition to the obvious motives of greed and power, authorities fear another motive—terror. Experts have postulated that terrorists could attack our medication supply chain by introducing harmful counterfeits for common prescription and over the counter medications.
